and I drank the poison like water-
said Romeo to his .brokenhearted. Juliette
as she wept.

and we're built on lies.

she said- as he lay at her feet
and she walked away.

-
[pleasant] sighted. said I to the night
as the stars faded away- and I cursed society
for stealing them from the sky
and throwing them on a silver screen
this isn't how it was meant to be.

and her voice- it was thunderous
they told me. after the fact. and after the dreams
when nothing. means a thing
but we always try. try. try- to break it down
and piece it back together for the sick pleasure of knowing
that.we.can


and we're nowhere-nearer the stars now.
we've just stolen the magic from them-

.to put them on our level.
